So basically the player chose villa over us
Oh dear
Not it means Norwich wanted more money upfront. Understandable as they need the money right now to replace Buendia and try everything to stay up next season. Getting 40m structured over 4(assumption from me) years isn't very helpful for Norwich right now.
Also tells you we have very little money to spend if we can’t match Villa.
As I said before the Kroenkes aren’t putting any money in, we’re structuring deals to pay them later when or selling players to raise cash.
Doesn’t get any worse than this, the Kroenkes in charge, Arteta as manager and no money to spend, the stuff of nightmares that!
